[Asia Economy Reporters Lee Ji-eun and Kim Hye-min] The Future United Party's Foreign Affairs and Security Special Committee urged the government to "immediately stop the attempt to solve the issue by once again targeting the easily accessible military" in relation to the government's plan to supply housing in the metropolitan area through the development of the military Taereung Golf Course.

On the 22nd, the Foreign Affairs and Security Special Committee expressed "deep regret and concern" in a statement regarding the Moon Jae-in administration's mention of Taereung Golf Course, the supply units under the Capital Defense Command, shooting ranges, and reserve forces training grounds as areas for expanding housing supply.

The committee pointed out, "In particular, Taereung Golf Course is the site of the Korea Military Academy, and the construction of apartments on the golf course appears to have a strong political intention to relocate the Korea Military Academy," adding, "So far, the Moon Jae-in administration has forced unilateral sacrifices in the defense sector when addressing various national issues, and we urge the immediate cessation of attempts to solve problems by once again targeting the easily accessible military."

They continued, "Furthermore, the shooting ranges and reserve forces training grounds used by the units operate 365 days a year, making it difficult to secure alternative sites," and added, "The idea of establishing new training grounds elsewhere and pushing forward with this plan is nothing more than a tactic to mislead public opinion that cannot be resolved within the remaining term of the Moon Jae-in administration, refusing to acknowledge the failure caused by their flawed real estate policies and even turning national security into a threat."

The Foreign Affairs and Security Special Committee stated, "While claiming to preserve the greenbelt for future generations, continuing to discuss military facilities is the height of the Moon Jae-in administration's hypocrisy," and added, "The Ministry of National Defense's reversal of its opposition to the development of Taereung Golf Course in just four days only lowers the morale of soldiers and results in the erosion of public trust."
